Femininity - Anima


Femininity - Anima


Sweet femininity was formed in Eve,
   before thrown from the Garden for her sin;
      engrained in souls by God, I do believe...
         the essence of true womanhood within.

These female traits present themselves in me
   through love, emotions, tenderness, and sense
      of being led by creativity
         in ways that show compassion deep, intense.

Imagination and perception stir
   beyond the realm of mere creative art:
      sense of aesthetics in all things occur;
         a yin and yang of balance must take part.

Maternal instinct lodged within my soul,
   the need to comfort with devoted care
      my family, as well as to extol
         with love, God's earthly creatures everywhere.

Romantic love of sweet and gentle kind
   that speaks commitment and fidelity,
      with friendship and relatedness combined;
         these are the gifts of female traits in me.
